premier issue of WEBsmith was included as a supplement in the
January issue of Linux Journal.  For more info check out our web site,

Linux Journal is carried by some newsstands (including all Computer
Literacy stores in Silicon Valley) and is delivered to newsstands
by two newsstand distributors.  If you know a place that sells magazines
that you feel should stock LJ, send e-mail to dist@ssc.com or have them
call SSC at 206-782-7733.  Getting LJ on newsstands is one of the best
ways we can show the non-Internet crowd that Linux is for real.
